The island’s political parties will take part in a forum next week.

Speakers from Manx Labour Party, Liberal Vannin, Mec Vannin and the Isle of Man Green Party are to give short presentations about the aims and philosophy of their respective parties.

After that the audience can ask questions and comment.

It has been organised by the Positive Action Group.

A spokesman said: ’Getting the parties together on one platform is a unique event in modern times.

It is another first for PAG.

’We hope that the public will come along to the Legion and take part in political discussion. We encourage questions and

comments from the audience. The event is free and all are welcome to come along.’

The meeting will be held at the Manx Legion Club on Market Hill, Douglas, on Monday, September 24, at 7.30pm.
